    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I think there is a bit of confusion here? If I am not mistaken, you are referring to the UK's recent announcement it intends to purchase F-35As with nuclear weapon deployment capability and the commitment to join NATO's nuclear sharing program, and shmmeee is referring to Trident. The usage of...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    In fairness, there is a distinct difference between the two situations. Hamas operates in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza making precise targeting more difficult and increases the risk of civilian causalities. Whereas Iran's military leaders and facilities are more isolated making...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Whilst I appreciate you have done your homework, but I find your explanation slightly misleading. It is true that banks "create money" through a process known as credit creation, and the mechanism you describe is accurate to an extent. However, your comment does not describe how bank's operate...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Yep - understood that bit, I was hoping you would expand on it? Without clarity the statement is too open-ended.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    May I kindly ask you to re-read what I stated. I never called Iranians "Arabs". I referenced the Arab Resistance as part of the point on the colonial conflict in Mandatory Palestine, I was not discussing Iran at this point.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Thank you for clarifying, and apologies, I was not trying to insinuate you were glamorising the revolution. I was just concerned that how it was being framed could risk that interpretation. May I just ask you to add clarity or further context in what you mean by "the story does start with...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    You are right to point this out and criticise Western foreign policy, but we have to avoid slipping into pro-revolutionary propaganda here. The American/British backed coup was a self-serving Cold War move with no concerns for the Iranians, but we must avoid framing the revolution in a way that...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Bold claim. If we were to judge allies based on past events, the UK would probably hate Japan the most. It was Japan's quick and successful invasions of Singapore and Malaysia in World War II that marked the beginning of the end of the British Empire. Countries value their relations based on...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Well, Iran hasn't successfully killed anyone, but they have tried. As I already pointed out these attacks were by Zionists, not the State of Israel. Crucially the Arabs also attacked the British administration - it was a colonial conflict.. The way you are framing your argument - Israelis...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    This is a tad misleading. Iran has been implicated in multiple failed activity considered terrorism in nature against the UK, and Zionists attacked the British administration in Mandatory Palestine but these pre-dated the foundation of Israel and not directly in the UK. Please criticise...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Perhaps, but Russia needs to understand that it can take and receives blows, it is pretty much accepted in war. This looks like a pointed strategic attack to greatly downgrade Russian military capabilities in a manner that would not risk Ukraine alienating its allies. I say, this is the reality...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Whilst it is true that interests rates have been much higher in the past, but this is only one metric to affordability when it comes to getting a mortgage. The current generation of prospective first time buyers have an almost perfect storm of difficulties when trying to get a mortgage; ever...

    Scumberland or Shitefield ?

    This is along the lines of what I was going to say. We lost to Luton on a penalty shootout lottery, Man Utd a marginal VAR decision, even against Sunderland the winner hit the bar on another day could have gone the other way. The tiniest of margins on the big stage, and it's quite cruel...
